| AI n. | 1973 Chains of the Sea in R. Silverberg Chains of the Sea 83 While the humans scurried in confusion, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) created by MIT/Bell Labs linked itself into the network of high-speed, twentieth generation computers placed at its disposal. |

| cyberpunk n. 1 | 1984 Science Fiction in the Eighties in Washington Post Book World 30 Dec. 9/3 Surely the wild and woolly ‘outlaw fantasy’ Waldrop began producing in the '70s played some part in shaping the esthetics and literary style of the ‘cyberpunk’ movement. |
| cyberpunk n. 2 | 1984 Science Fiction in the Eighties in Washington Post Book World 30 Dec. 9/1 About the closest thing here to a self-willed esthetic ‘school’ would be the purveyors of bizarre hard-edged, high-tech stuff, who have on occasion been referred to as ‘cyberpunks’—Sterling, Gibson, Shiner, Cadigan, Bear. |
| sharecropper n. | 1987 in Year’s Best Science Fiction Fifth Annual Collection Introd. p. xiv In the case of the ‘sharecroppers’, I also feel, perhaps naively, that young writers ought to be busy developing their own worlds and working out their own ideas and fresh material, rather than reworking ground already broken by older and more successful writers. |
| sharecropping n. | 1987 in Year's Best Science Fiction Fifth Ann. Coll. Introd. p. xiii Perhaps the most ominous of these was the dramatic upsurge of novels by newer writers set in fictional worlds created by famous SF writers, or novels using thematic material created by established writers. This practice of hiring lesser-known authors to create new adventures set ‘in the world of’ some famous SF novel (for instance, a novel set in the world of Robert Heinlein’s Starship Troopers, or in the world of Robert Silverberg’s Lord Valentine’s Castle ) has been referred to as ‘share-cropping’ and strikes me as a very dangerous trend. |
